Dance recital...

Well we survived the first big dance recital this weekend...I think I was more tired than Maddie...All day rehearsal on Friday (thank God we only had to be there for a couple hours), then shows Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and Saturday night. Maddie did great and really enjoyed it. It was fun. We had a good time with all the family who came to watch too.

A little robin decided to build her nest on the lights outside the back of our house... we found it this spring, and were about to take it down, when we noticed some baby birds in it last weekend.. It's been really fun to watch them and the momma bird. Yesterday we got to watch the last of the 3 fly out of the nest. What a cool science project! Now, to clean all the bird poop off our deck & house.....

The kids are out of daycare now for the summer as Chad has decided to forgo finding a different job for the summer in favor of being Mr. Mom... He did it last summer too, and has way more patience with them than I do. They have a lot of big activities planned and it should be fun.

Evan continues to change every day, and can now make several animal noises (my favorite is horse), and tells us where his belly, nose, and ears are. Hard to believe that he just started walking about 3 months ago, because now he runs, walks sideways, and backwards without any trouble. He still loves playing ball.

Madison is constantly wondering about the world, her latest fascination and constant question is "Why do birds live in trees?" She always can come up with a question that I don't begin to know the answer to. Usually the answer is "Because they just do." That's all I got...

Take care y'all....
